“Mostly positive”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

On the good side:
1, Personnel are wonderful. Everyone goes out of their way to help you enjoy your stay. The CEO is especially charming and friendly.

2. The grounds are lovely. Flowers, landscaping are exceptional.

3. Bed is comfortable.

4. Bathroom is well equipped. Plenty of towels. Shower is excellent with plenty of hot water and a powerful spray.

5. Ceiling fan keeps the room cool.

6. As advertised the complimentary breakfast is the best. Many choices of tasty dishes, well prepared and promptly served. It is not the usual crowded buffet. A definite plus.

7. In spite of being on PCH it is very quiet.

The downside:

1. Our room was very small. I would estimate no more than 250 square feet.

2.; The rooms need updating in the sense of a paint job, new carpets, etc. Every thing is quite old and should be updated.

Over all, we found our stay more then satisfactory and would not hesitate to return.

The management and staff at Casa Laguna send their appreciation to sasmd3 for their kind words about our inn, our dedicated guest-first service, and the many amenities they were able to enjoy. The room sasmd3 stayed in actually contains a king size bed with night stands on either side, plus other furniture, with still plenty of room to move around. That said, we do have larger rooms and suites, and we hope they will let us help choose one more to their liking when next they return. All of our rooms were newly carpeted about 7 years ago, and the room mentioned was painted just last year. All rooms are regularly inspected and maintained. After reading this review, I immediately inspected this room myself and found no wear marks or stains on the carpet. Perhaps the retro carpet style was just not to this guest’s liking. I do have to admit that, because the door is open during inspections and cleaning, we had missed noticing nicks in the paint on the inside of the door, and these would certainly be noticeable from the bed when the door is closed. We apologize for the oversight. The door has been painted and our inspection process has been adjusted to assure this does not happen again. The paint in that room appeared otherwise clean and unblemished, but it does have retro-style spackling. We are a historic inn, built in the 1920s and 40s. While all our room amenities/facilities are modern and up-to-date, we have maintained much of the period look in carpet, furniture, rough-textured walls, and original doors. It is to be expected that not everyone will appreciate this style, and we encourage prospective guests to carefully review the photos on our website before booking a room. As you can see from the majority of our reviews, most of our guests love this historical ambiance. We again thank sasmd3 for providing their opinions in a fair and balanced review, and we hope to see them again in the near future.

“Restful, romantic stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

Looking for a break from severe winter weather, we booked three nights in the Cottage at Casa Laguna. It was a perfect getaway. The cottage was cozy and comfortable; the king-size bed and linens were a dream. We noted that our kitchen was well equipped, including a small refrigerator, microwave, toaster, blender, plates, glasses and pots/pans. We took advantage of the steam shower and jetted footed tub. The shampoo, conditioner, soap and lotion provided were in environment-friendly pump bottles and were
spa quality . We enjoyed a terrific couples massage at the spa, and followed it with a private soak in their hot tub, sipping champagne and watching the sun set. The breakfasts were outstanding. The gourmet menu was diverse and the food was delicious. We also took advantage of the wine and appetizers served from 5-7 every day. We learned to get there early for the best selection as this was a popular event. It was too cold to use the pool, but the setting is lovely, as is the landscaping on the grounds. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Their recommendations for dining were great. We returned home feeling rested and rejuvenated. Thanks, Casa Laguna!

Room Tip: We recommend booking the rooms further back on the property or the Cottage. The property is right o...

We are always thrilled to read that guests had the opportunity to take advantage of all that Casa Laguna has to offer. And, of course, our free-standing cottage has a bit more to offer in both spaciousness and amenities. Even though it has been a very warm winter in Laguna Beach—and our pool is heated—there are times when the air is a bit too cool to make swimming comfortable and we’re sorry that QuietTravellers were unable to enjoy that feature of the inn. We thank QuietTravellers for their detailed review, and for providing tips about the rooms they like most. We’re glad we were able to make their visit the best that it could be, leaving them happy, rested, and refreshed.

Ask Christine H about Casa Laguna Inn & Spa

We are so glad Christine H had a great stay at Casa Laguna, and we thank her for her kind review. We should clarify that when California inlanders say at-the-beach they are usually referring to our coastal beach cities. So that no one reading this misunderstands--Casa Laguna does not sit on the water. We are on the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway. We have expansive ocean views. Beautiful Victoria beach is about a 10-minute walk away, and dozens of great beaches are just minutes away by car or public transportation, and we provide beach chairs and umbrellas for those who want them. We hope to see Christine H back at the beach with us real soon.

“Beautiful surroundings terrible traffic noise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

The property is beautiful, with sitting areas all around and lovely flowers and plants but when they supply you with ear plugs you better be prepared for some traffic noise! They staff is very friendly and helpful. My husband & I had spa services which was relaxing and enjoyed the therapeutic soak at sunset:) The"deluxe ocean view room" was extremely small, I am not sure why this is considered "deluxe" but it was clean and smelled very nice. I don't believe we would stay there again but only because of the high traffic noise from PCH.

Ask Vicki M about Casa Laguna Inn & Spa

CasaGirl, General Manager at Casa Laguna Inn & Spa, responded to this review
24 January 2012
We appreciate VickiM taking the time to let us know what she did and did not like about our Inn. In regard to road noise, we have always said that there will be a few people who are sensitive to road noise who may not find Casa Laguna the perfect match for their criteria. Interestingly, this review comes immediately after one in which the guest stayed in the same room location, admits to being a light sleeper, and states that she had no problem with road noise. We again caution all travelers that Pacific Coast Highway is the primary connecting route to all Southern California Beach Cities, and nearly all hotels, inns, and resorts, (as well as hundreds of multimillion-dollar luxury homes) are within earshot of that thoroughfare. Most visitors do not find it a problem. Some do. But few would classify it as terrible. As to room size—our promotions and reviews make it clear that we are a quaint, romantic, historic bed & breakfast inn, built in the 20s and 40s, and as such, our rooms are smaller than those found in modern family-oriented resorts. Once again, the previous reviewer stayed in one of the same room types, and found the room perfectly to her liking. She also appreciated the large bathroom with jetted double tub—which is what makes the room Deluxe. Standard Ocean View rooms have glass-enclosed showers without tub. We are truly sorry that our inn was not a perfect match for VickiM, and we certainly understand that she will probably choose more traditional accommodations with a contemporary-style commodious room in the future. We are glad she was able to enjoy many things about her stay, and we again thank her for taking the time to let others know about her experience.

“Our favorite place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

We have been going to Casa Laguna for about 5 years. We try to go at least twice a year, sometimes three times. Always in February, August and December. It is beautiful no matter when we go. We have stayed in every room type they have, from the basic to the huge two room cottage. Our least favorite room is the Ocean View because it is upstairs and there are always people walking by. Unless you get the very end room, of course. Our favorite, believe it or not is the smaller, patio room.
We have never had an issue of any type when staying at Casa Laguna. The staff has always been awesome, and have gone above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable and memorable as possible.
We almost always get couples massages and the massage therapists they contract with are extraordinary.
The breakfast is no ordinary breakfast; we are talking gourmet people!!! You have to try the Casa Benedict! Yum.
For anyone who may not know-we have seen a few over the years-this is NOT the place to bring your kids. This is a relaxing bed and breakfast for couples, not a family resort!!!
The pool/ pool area are beautiful and relaxing. Pure tranquility.
The ONLY thing that I don't like is how far it is from the main town. It isn't really within walking distance of anything other than the beach. I mean, we have walked into town, but it is quite far. It is within walking distance of an awesome restaurant called Dizz's. I also highly recommend Mozambique's Steak House, which is a little farther , but Casa Laguna's staff will always arrange for transportation if needed.
Another perk at this B&B- free parking!!!

Room Tip: Awesome view from the deluxe patio view rooms

CasaGirl, General Manager at Casa Laguna Inn & Spa, responded to this review
7 February 2012
Casa Laguna is very proud of our extended family of returning guests like Christina D who consider our inn their home away from home. Her balanced and honest review shows that she knows what she likes, and she likes most everything about Casa Laguna. Some of our guests would disagree with her about the Ocean View rooms, which are the furthest rooms back from the highway, and which have settees outside the door from which you can enjoy marvelous Catalina sunsets. But the diversity of room types mentioned by Christina D means Casa Laguna has something for just about everyone. We do need to mention that being 1.5 miles from downtown Laguna Beach means that we are away from the hustle bustle of the village, and in addition to nearby Dizz’s, there is also a highly Zagat rated restaurant called Tabu within walking distance. We thank Christina D for her detailed review--and her Casa Laguna family looks forward to welcoming her back again in the near future.
